Not everyone is as lucky as Canadians. We live in a free and just nations that values the rule of law. That's a really big deal. However, it is this way because when our nation needed people, there were great Canadians who took up the call and fought for what is right and proper.
War is terrible. There is nothing romantic about it. It kills good people and leaves a lot more ruined. Despite this, it is important to have a strong fighting force to defend our national interests.
It was a cold and damp morning in Ottawa yet there were many people out to show their support at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony. It was eerie during the minute of silence. To be in the middle of the downtown core of a major Canadian city, within a mass of people and there it be nearly silent was stirring.
We have changed how we fight wars since The Great War. It's good we are much more effective because that was a miserable war but it would be nice if we never have to do it again. Unfortunately I'm sure Canadians will be called to fight again. There are too many people with access to assets that want to do evil things. So we need to be ready. It's a dirty job but we have great people doing it.
Take some time to thank a veteran. It doesn't have to be on November 11th. You will make their day. We have it good here but some people payed a horrible price to have it that way.
They will not grow old as we grow old.
We will remember them.
